On a tree-lined street that winds through the heart of Normandy Park, is a “Little Free Library”.  It’s a free-standing wood box full of books, in the front yard of a home on a prominent corner lot.  The Little Free Library is a place where anyone can stop and pick up a book or leave a book to share. 

For the past few years, I’ve become accustom to the convenience of downloading and reading books electronically. Today, I decided to stop at the corner and pick out a book.  I was surprised at how that  little wooden box of books made me feel so connected to my community. It’s sweet, it’s simple and I loved it!  I’ll be back.
